VAUGHAN, Ont. — Quincaillerie J.P & F. Larochelle in Dunham, Que., is the newest member of TIMBER MART. Founded in 1975 as an army surplus store by Jean-Paul and Cécile Larochelle, it has branched out into hunting and fishing gear, hardware and garden supplies and is now owned by Yvon and Sylvain Larochelle.
“With TIMBER MART, we look forward to benefitting from their buying power, vendor relationships, Spancan programs and most importantly, the freedom to maintain our independence,” Sylvain said. Daniel Rioux, TIMBER MART’s regional director of member services in Quebec, said the business will benefit from the banner’s LBM distribution centre in St-Nicolas.
